You'll notice we have an "ad" this week. We're taking part in Podcasthon, a worldwide event where podcasters donate some time on their show to a cause of their choice. We'd love you to check out the Amoyo Foundation, a non-profit in Hout Bay, Cape Town, that teaches dance, drama, music, and communication skills to children from Imizamo Yethu, one of the poorest informal settlements in South Africa.
To support Amoyo, you can follow the link to their site and donate, or you can buy a ticket to their 10-Year Anniversary Show, “Stargazing,” is happening March 28th at Artscape. Help keep their after-school arts program alive—grab your tickets at Amoyo.org.
